While our backgrounds and experiences are diverse, we share a deep commitment to Jesus Christ, to each other, and our neighbors. Watch these stories of faith in the everyday lives of Mormons. You can also meet Mormons here.

Our faith influences nearly every aspect of our lives. Beyond simply believing in Jesus Christ, we try to bring His teachings to life at home, at work and in our communities. Here are a few of the cultural priorities embraced by members of the Church around the world.

We are all spiritual children of a loving
Heavenly Father who sent us to this earth to learn and grow in a mortal state. As Mormons,
we are followers of Jesus Christ. We live our lives
to serve Him and teach of His eternal plan for each of us.

Hi I'm Amy Jensen

I was born in India, I am adopted, I teach in an elementary school, and I am a Mormon.

About Me

I am a return missionary and served in Louiseville, Kentucky, USA. I recieved a Masters degree and am an elementary school teacher. I love dogs and have 2 of my own. I spend time with my family and friends, teaching children, taking care of my dogs, traveling, listening to music, watching and playing sports.

Why I am a Mormon

I am proud Mormon! When I was 12, my only parent passed away from cancer. That really shook up my childhood. I clung onto the church especially the young woman's program. Knowing the gospel principal of eternal families has been the main reason of following Jesus Christ's church. I love attending the temple and feeling God's love and being near my mom's presence. The veil is thinner than we think it is. Our loved ones who have passed on from this earth are our guiding angels who wants us to return to them and to our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ.

Personal Stories

Why do Mormons go on missions?

We go on missions because we love our Savior Jesus Christ and our Heavenly Father. Teaching the gospel to people is part of the Church's mission and a duty to the members of the faith. We want to serve them by helping in bringing their other children to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We also feel very blessed in our lives and want to give back what we can to God for providing our blessings. Serving a mission is one of several ways to give back to God. We do not get paid to serve a mission we pay the church to go. Some families do make finacial sacrifices and other sacrifices such as spending time with their friends and family, jobs, social life, school, and wordly possessions to serve God.

How I live my faith

I am currently one of the Sacrament program coordinators; I have taught in the women's group at church. I also have taught Sunday school and the basic teachings of the gospel. I love to volunteer for the Habitat for Humanity and I am also a Big Sister mentor for the Big Brother Big Sister organization. I know that I am not perfect but I strive each day to follow Jesus Christ's teachings and be his hands in serving my family and friends and in my community. I try to treat others the way I would want to be treated with respect and love.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Mormons Christians?

Yes we are! I consider Him as my elder brother because we take upon the name of Christ when we partake of the sacrament every Sunday. We believe in being saved through Jesus Christ. He died for our sins, trials, and happiness. He made it possible for us to return back to him and our Heavenly Father.

YES. We are, after all, The Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter-day Saints. We know that Christ is our Savior and that it is only through his Atonement that we can return to live with our Heavenly Father after this life. There are many people in the world who believe that Mormons worship Joseph Smith. They believe that he is the founder and the head of our church. I would like to assure you that this isn't true. Jesus Christ is the founder and the head of this church. It is Him who we worship and put our faith in.

What is being a Mormon like?

Being a Mormon is like having a sense of peace that is hard to explain & even harder to live without. So many of life's questions are answered through the gospel. The commandments that Heavenly Father has given us, the covenants we make and the blessings that come to us through our obedience are what help me make decisions each day. I know God lives, that He loves me & that I will see Him again. I know I'm His child, his precious Daughter & that He wants me home again. Being a Mormon, is gaining that knowledge & allowing it to lift you when you're struggling.
